West Ham United has replaced Graham Potter with former Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, shorty after firing the former, the Premier League club said in a statement on Saturday.
Potter paid the price for West Ham slumping to next-to-last place after losing four of its league games so far. The team is already out of the English League Cup, too.
“Nuno has signed a three-year contract with the Hammers and will take charge of his first match on Monday evening when we travel to Everton in the Premier League,” the club said.
“He arrives at London Stadium having put together a hugely impressive coaching career, most recently leading Nottingham Forest to European qualification via a seventh-place Premier League finish and the FA Cup semifinals last season.”

Nuno left Nottingham Forest on September 9 after a deterioration in his working relationship with the club’s hierarchy but has secured a rapid return for his fourth stint in England’s top division, having previously coached Wolverhampton and Tottenham.
“My objective is to work hard to get the very best from the team and ensure that we are as competitive as we possibly can be,” Nuno said.
“The work has already started and I am looking forward to the challenge that is ahead.” Potter took charge in January and led the club to a 14th-placed finish last season.
